Sick Boy Soldier

I knew a sick boy soldier

Who grinned at life

Slept soundly

Through the darkness

And whistled to the night

He comes from a town of normal

Which he is ashamed

And people remember him kindly

When no one remembers his name

It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

And Mother can't sleep at night

No, she gets lost in the feeling

But her feeling ain't right

Well, I knew a sick boy soldier

Who laughed at life

And slept soundly

Through the darkness

And whistled to the night

He comes from a town of normal

Which he is ashamed

And people remember him kindly

When no one remembers his name

It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

And Mother can't sleep at night

No, she gets lost in the feeling

But her feeling ain't...

It gets cold in the winter sometimes

(No no no no no no)

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

(No no no no no no)

And Mother can't sleep at night

(No)

Lost in the feeling

(Yeah)

Oh, carry on

The ships and sails are gone

This place is falling down

Lord, it's crumbling

Oh, it's crumbling to the ground

Oh, carry on

The pirates and sailors have gone

The ship is sinking now

Lord, it's crumbling

Oh, it's crumbling to the ground

It gets cold in the winter sometimes

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

And Mother can't sleep at night

No, she gets lost in the feeling

But her feeling ain't right

It gets cold in the winter sometimes

(No no no no no no)

It gets lost when the feeling ain't right

(No no no no no no)

And Mother can't sleep at night

(No)

Lost in the feeling

(Yeah)

It gets cold in the winter sometimes

Lost when the feeling ain't right

And Mother can't sleep at night

Lost in the feeling

But the feeling ain't right
